Sept. 14, 2026

Dear SCOMB Community, With the latest commit to https://gitlab.com/alasca.cloud/scomb/sonic-mgmt-framework, implementation for |show version|, |show platform|, and core |show ip| commands, along with their full subcommand trees is now complete and ready for use. *Supported Commands & Overview* * *|show version|* Displays core SONiC system details, including build ID, OS release, kernel version, and hardware platform metadata. * *|show platform|* Provides full chassis hardware telemetry and sensor diagnostics: o |environment|: General chassis environmental conditions. o |fanstatus|: Fan speeds, operational states, and airflow direction. o |firmware|: Installed hardware and component firmware versions. o |psustatus| & |psusummary|: Individual power supply operational health and overall power draw summaries. o |ssdhealth|: Storage media health indicators, wear level, and lifecycle metrics. o |syseeprom|: System EEPROM information. o |temperature|: Sensor readings across board and ASIC thermal zones. * *|show ip|* Exposes Layer 3 control and forwarding plane visibility: o |arp|: Dynamic and static ARP table bindings and MAC resolution. o |vrf|: Configured VRF instances and routing table bindings. o |interfaces|: IP configuration, operational status, subnet assignments, and MTU. o |access-lists| / |access-group|: Configured IP access control lists and interface attachments. o /Additional IP routing and protocol subcommands are being implemented and will be rolled out soon. Keep an eye on the community channel for latest merges./ * *|show interface|* Outputs Layer 1/2 operational states, port speeds, transceiver telemetry, and packet/error counters across physical and logical interfaces. * *|show lldp|* Displays Link Layer Discovery Protocol neighbors, chassis capabilities, port descriptions, and remote management endpoints. * *|show mclag|* Monitors Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) domain status, peer-link synchronization, and active/standby state. * *|show system|* Inspects system-wide control plane status, resource usage (CPU/memory), host runtime properties, and core daemon health. * *|show tech-support|* Generates and retrieves comprehensive debug bundles and diagnostics for technical troubleshooting. * *|show vlan|* Lists active VLAN IDs, port memberships (tagged/untagged), and Layer 2 bridging configurations. Testing & Feedback I encourage you to pull the latest changes, test these commands within your lab deployments, and share your findings. If you run into issues or have questions regarding the setup, please feel free to reply directly to this thread or open an issue on the repository. *Note:* Additional commands are actively under development and will be rolling out soon. We warmly welcome community contributions, if you would like to get involved in extending the management framework, please reach out so we can help you get started!

Invitation to Join the SCOMB Matrix Channel
by Rankan Sen Aug. 28, 2026

Aug. 28, 2026

Dear Community Members, We have noticed that several members of the mailing list have not yet joined the SCOMB Matrix channel. We understand that this may be due to account setup issues or because the original invitation link is no longer easily accessible. I would therefore like to share the invitation link again and encourage everyone to join the Matrix channel. The Matrix channel is an important part of our community communication and is regularly used for discussions, technical exchanges, announcements, and other useful information that may not always be covered through the mailing list. Joining the channel will help ensure that you stay up to date and can participate more actively in ongoing topics. Please use the following link to join the SCOMB Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#alasca-scomb:matrix.org We would be glad to have all mailing-list members represented on Matrix as well.

Rescheduled: SCOMB Meeting 20th August
by Rankan Sen Aug. 10, 2026

Aug. 10, 2026

Dear Community, Unfortunately, due to an overlap in timing, I will not be available for the SCOMB community call scheduled for 20 August. Would it be possible to move the call to the following week, on 27 August, at the same time? The existing meeting room can still be used for the rescheduled call, so everyone should be able to join using the same link. It would be helpful if the meeting invitation could be updated with the new date. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, Rankan -- ** Cloud&Heat Cloud&Heat Technologies GmbH Königsbrücker Straße 96 (Halle 15) | 01099 Dresden *+49 351 479 367 00* *rankan.sen(a)cloudandheat.com | **www.cloudandheat.com* <https://www.cloudandheat.com> *Green, Open, Efficient.* Ihr Cloud-Service- und Cloud-Technologie-Provider aus Dresden. <https://www.cloudandheat.com/> Commercial Register: District Court Dresden Register Number: HRB 30549 VAT ID No.: DE281093504 Managing Director: Nicolas Röhrs Authorized signatory: Dr. Marius Feldmann

SCOMB Update: Internal Image Registry Completed + sonic-cli Revival
by Rankan Sen May 18, 2026

May 18, 2026

Hi everyone, I’m happy to share a key milestone for SCOMB: we have successfully completed the migration to an internal image registry pipeline for SONiC builds. *What we’ve built:* SONiC image builds has been moved to internal repositories and a local registry. This change provides: * Reduced dependency on external Microsoft repositories * Elimination of redundant base image rebuilds across pipelines * Lower load and fewer duplicate requests to upstream services during parallel builds * Faster and more predictable build and retrieval times through local infrastructure All image artifacts are now served through our internal registry pipeline. *Performance improvements:* A significant reduction in build time was observed after adding prefetching of slave images. * Previous build time: ~5 hours * Current build time: ~2.5–3 hours This improvement comes primarily from eliminating redundant slave image builds. However, additional gains are possible by enabling and tuning caching layers (e.g., build cache, registry cache, and layer reuse), which are not fully optimized yet. *Test access:* You can access and test the latest built images here: https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/local-build/ <https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/local-build/> Please verify: * Compatibility with your current workflows * Image stability * Any issues during boot, or deployment *What’s next? sonic-cli revival:* We are restarting development on the |sonic-cli| project and looking for contributors. Initial analysis shows that the current SONiC management framework provides only a minimal baseline implementation. The majority of the existing codebase is in Go and Python. *Roadmap focus* We will focus on: * Fixing existing bugs and stability issues * Adding missing management features * Expanding coverage across SONiC system components * Improving usability and consistency of CLI workflows *How you can help* We need community input to guide development. If you have identified: * Missing CLI features * UX gaps or workflow issues * Bugs or inconsistencies in current behavior please create work items in SCOMB. All feedback, including code contributions, feature requests, and bug reports, will directly help shape the roadmap and accelerate development. We will progressively define and publish detailed work items as we finalize the feature set. Looking forward to your feedback and contributions.

CI Update – Automated PR Merging in SONiC Images
by Rankan Sen April 21, 2026

April 21, 2026

Dear community, Following the discussion in the last SCOMB meeting, the CI pipeline has been updated to support automatic merging of PRs from the upstream into the build. To use this, add the required PR IDs to the |PR_LIST| variable in the GitLab CI YAML: PR_LIST: "10809 11802 12429 22641 25325 7615 7757 9491" Leave this empty if there is nothing to be merged. These PRs will be merged automatically along with the changes from the current branch during the build process. Please review the implementation and share any feedback or alternative approaches if applicable. The latest image for Edgecore DCS203 is available here: https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/sonic-images/master-ci-pipeline/2026-04-21_…<https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/sonic-images/master-ci-pipeline/2026-04-21_…> Best regards, Rankan ** Cloud&Heat Cloud&Heat Technologies GmbH Königsbrücker Straße 96 (Halle 15) | 01099 Dresden *+49 351 479 367 00* *rankan.sen(a)cloudandheat.com | **www.cloudandheat.com* <https://www.cloudandheat.com> *Green, Open, Efficient.* Ihr Cloud-Service- und Cloud-Technologie-Provider aus Dresden. <https://www.cloudandheat.com/> Commercial Register: District Court Dresden Register Number: HRB 30549 VAT ID No.: DE281093504 Managing Director: Nicolas Röhrs Authorized signatory: Dr. Marius Feldmann
